Men and women are increasingly seeking plastic surgeries to achieve their goals whether cosmetic or reconstructive. Advanced surgical body contouring techniques at Body by Bloch can now be used to shape and contour various body areas to achieve any desired results. However, all cosmetic surgical body procedures have certain risks and should always be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Bloch who has the right credentials. Any plastic surgeon performs various body procedures for different patients and the outcomes are always great.
The following are Popular body sculpting procedures that you can request from any board certified plastic surgeon.
Liposuction
If you have been observing proper nutrition and exercising regularly to achieve your weight loss goals but some body areas have not responded, you are likely to be a good candidate for liposuction surgery. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to remove localized fat deposits. It targets all the trouble body areas where excess fat can be removed if skin elasticity is good enough to conform to new body contours. Dr. Bloch as an expert surgeon performs the procedure by making very small incisions where a cannula is inserted and used to suction fats out into a surgical vacuum.
Tummy tuck
When you need your abdominal area to be flat once again, a tummy tuck surgery performed by an expert and board certified is what you should consider. After pregnancies or massive weight loss, you might be left with a protruding tummy sometimes with sagging skin that may even form several folds. A tummy tuck procedure is performed to eliminate the loose skin and to tighten the abdominal wall muscles. Excess fat is also excised or removed using a liposuction procedure. The incision made runs above the pubic area and may extent to the hipbones. Another incision may also need to be made vertically and around the navel which is repositioned after tightening the abdominal wall muscles.
In order to optimize the results, you should first lose most of your weight before a liposuction procedure. A good candidate for the surgery should have good physical fitness. Even after surgery, it is also important to continue with diet and exercise regimens to maintain the results achieved for the long term.
Mini tummy tuck
A mini tummy tuck is the ideal cosmetic surgical procedure performed for patients that have loose skin below the belly button. Sometimes this procedure can be performed as a scar revision of a C-section, but most women after pregnancies will need a full tummy tuck as they are likely to have more loose skin even above their belly buttons. The incision made for a mini tummy tuck is usually shorter than that of a standard abdominoplasty surgery. The surgeon will only be targeting to remove some loose skin in a smaller area above your pubis. The recovery time of this procedure is shorter.
Laser liposuction
Sometimes exercise and diet regimens alone do not successfully get rid of excess fat from all body areas. Some body areas are stubborn and will remain with localized fat deposits that will not give you the desired looks or body shape. Laser energy is used to liquefy fat deposits in any targeted area, then a cannula is used only to suction out the liquefied fats into a surgical vacuum or syringe. There is less trauma with laser liposuction because no back and forth cannula movements are required to dislodge fats. Lasers are also associated with the benefit of skin tightening effect during recovery, so some patients with loose skin in addition to excess fat may also be good candidates.
Body lift
When factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, sun exposure, pregnancy and genetics cause sagging skin and excess fat, body lift surgery can be performed to shape and tone the underlying tissue. The appearance of irregular or dimpled skin, also known as cellulite, is best improved by a body lift. Different body areas are targeted including the abdomen, waist, groin, buttocks, thighs, or lower back. While performing body lift to get rid of loose skin and excess fat, liposuction may also be performed to specifically remove the fat. Liposuction is only performed alone if the skin elasticity is good. A body lift procedure may be extensive depending on the number of body areas targeted for shaping and toning. There might be a risk of scars which fade away over time, but Dr. Bloch uses surgical techniques that best hide scars under natural body contours or clothing.
Butt lift
For sagging buttocks, a butt lift procedure is performed to remove the excess skin and fat using both liposuction and surgical excision techniques. The problems corrected with this procedure may have been caused by weight fluctuations, aging or heredity factors. Sometimes the sagging skin and excess fat can even cause mobility problems in addition to making a patient uncomfortably self-conscious. After the surgery, your buttocks should look much smoother and well toned. The results should be long lasting as long as no further weight fluctuations occur.
ThermiRF
Loose skin in many parts of the body such as neck, arms, abdomen, lower back, waist, thighs, or calves, can be treated using ThermiRF. Using temperature or heat controlled radiofrequency technology, energy is transmitted deeper under the skin surfaces resulting to tightening of tissues. The penetration of ThermiRF is much better than that of most lasers which often target the outer skin surface. During your consultation with a plastic surgeon you will be examined and the treatment will only be recommended where great outcomes can be expected.
VASER® High Definition Liposuction
If you do not want to undergo the traditional liposuction surgery to get rid of fat from any trouble areas that have not responded to diet and exercise, VASER® High Definition Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that can achieve great results. The treatment uses ultrasound waves to breakdown fats without affecting important tissues like nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. A saline solution is used to fill the areas targeted for treatment to enhance the effectiveness of the VASER Systems ultrasound energy in breaking down fatty tissue. Liquefied fats are suctioned out with very minimal damage caused to surrounding tissues. Recovery after this procedure is much faster compared to traditional liposuction.
